FAL3603015M - 30 Amp Motor Circuit Protector

FAL3603015M - 30 Amp Motor Circuit Protector

Finding the right replacement motor circuit protector is often about maintaining the original design of the equipment, not changing it. The FAL3603015M is a 30 Amp, 3-pole Type FAL Motor Circuit Protector (MCP) designed for installations that already use the FAL platform. Matching the original form, fit, and function helps you simplify maintenance while keeping existing motor control equipment configured as intended.

Unlike thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, this magnetic-only motor circuit protector is intended to provide short-circuit protection for motor branch circuits and is used together with a separate overload device as part of a coordinated motor protection system.
